Guys, I hope you will give this watermelon beet juice a go before the summer is over!

If you follow my blog you know I love juicing. Nothing tastes better than freshly made juices. They are so refreshing and nutritious! I also love the fact that I can add whatever ingredients (see fruits and veggies) I have on hand and create something fresh and tasty!

Something like this watermelon beet juice, Glowing Skin Green Juice or Beetroot and Orange Juice.

Did you know that beets are perfect for juicing? Believe it or not I was not a huge fan of them before I started juicing them. The key here is adding just the right amount so you don’t find them overpowering. Also beets health benefits are worth mentioning here. Heart, liver, stamina …. Beets do wonders to our body.

Now pair beets with watermelon and you get a super juice! One of the watermelon health benefits is helping our bodies recover after a workout and reducing muscle soreness. Isn’t that great?

How to juice watermelon and beets:

Preparing watermelon for juicing can be done within minutes. I usually cut it in quarters first. Then I take one quarter and place it the flesh side down so that the green skin is away from me (I am facing the flesh). Now with a large knife I slice it so I get triangular shaped pieces.

When you have done the prep this way, now you just cut off the green parts. Easy-peasy.

To prepare the beets for juicing I highly recommend using gloves. If you don’t have gloves, use plastic bags instead (that’s what I do when I run out of gloves). Otherwise you will end up with purple hands.

Once you have done your prep, throw everything in your juicer and in a few minutes you will be rewarded with a glass of this refreshing watermelon beet juice!

So you see juicing watermelon and beets is not difficult at all!

Good to know:

  • Use seasonal produce for the best flavors and prices (See this watermelon beet juice – both ingredients are in season now so you can enjoy a glass of delicious homemade juice and you won’t spend fortune on the produce).
  • Juicing is not as time consuming as you think! I juice a lot in large quantities and to get about 4 cups of freshly made juice you need about 10-15 minutes of prep (this will depend on the type of fruits and veggies you use as each require different time to prep). Not bad at all!
  • Juicing means losing some of the nutrients so the best is drink juices right away or keep in closed jars in the fridge (max 48 hours).
  • There are also special slow juicers that are able to produce higher nutritional value juices.

  1. To say I was leery about this combination would be the understatement of the year. How can these 2 flavors meld? But it tried it and thought the beet, watermelon and lemon combination was incredible. Thank you!

  2. Absolutely beautiful juice, what a color! it definitely needed some citrus to lift its earthiness. I added half a lime and that did the trick immediately.5 stars

  3. The color looks really good and I bet the taste is really good too! I will be trying this today as a refreshing beverage for lunch. Thank you for this recipe!5 stars

  4. Seriously gorgeous! I love beets, but I hadn’t thought of combining them with watermelon! Sounds interesting!

  5. That’s such a stunning vibrant colour! Never tried that combo before but I’m so intrigued by it! must give it a go soon :D

  6. Man, I don’t care for beets but this drink looks amazing.
    First of all, I love your color scheme for this post, the background really makes the red color of the beverages pop. Soooo, pretty.
    Second, even though I don’t care for beets, this recipe makes me want to try them again.
    Beets are like sushi right? An inquired taste? I figure if I keep trying them, eventually I’ll love them.

    1. :) Thank you, Christina! I absolutely agree with you. Beets are totally like sushi. It had taken me many tries until I actually enjoyed both. Hope you will too!

  7. Wow! Healthy and refreshing. Can’t wait to make this and watermelons are just starting to come in.5 stars

  8. this is absolutely gorgeous! You are so right, using fresh, in-season fruit makes it the best flavors. Perfect timing for this juice!5 stars

  9. I don’t have a juicer – there’s only so much room in my pantry… do you have another way to juice? I was thinking blending in the blender or cuisinart and straining.

    1. You can use a blender for the watermelon, but I would not use it for the beets. Maybe if you cooked them first. I made some juices with cooked beets as well. But I still process them in a juicer. However, if you just strained it, you should be fine.
